Eric Toh is a Senior Research Assistant in the Sun Nyunt Wai research group at Umeå University, Sweden. His research primarily focuses on the molecular mechanisms of bacteria-host interactions, particularly how bacteria modulate host cell signaling pathways. Toh obtained his master's degree in Molecular Biology from Umeå University, where his master's thesis centered on the analysis of bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) targeted for cancer therapy. Continuing his academic journey, he pursued a PhD in Medical Sciences with a focus on Molecular Biology. His doctoral research investigated the cellular responses such as apoptosis and autophagy influenced by bacterial factors, particularly those associated with OMVs, and aimed to uncover the implications of these interactions for developing new anticancer therapeutic agents. He is currently engaged in ongoing research within the Sun Nyunt Wai lab, exploring the intricate mechanisms of bacteria-host interactions. Outside of work, Toh enjoys watching and playing football, taking walks, and reading articles.
